Poolside

Swimsuit: Michael Kors // Maxi: HM // Sandals: Carlos by Carlos Santana // Tote: Coach // Sunnies: Jessica Simpson

Spring Break is upon us and I can't be more excited. Although I do not get an entire week off from work, I do enjoy the lighter traffic and sunny skies. Plus, most of the pools around town are finally opening! Yay!

Speaking of being poolside, I thought I would share a few of my favorite pool must-haves: a cobalt blue swimsuit, cotton maxi, gladiator sandals (last seen here), classic tote and sunnies. If you only purchase one swimsuit this summer, make sure it's a goody! Try a few on and settle for fit and quality over quantity. I recently found this one for a steal and love the way the color reminds me of a deep greek blue. Almost the color of Santorini skies (on my bucket list).

I like to wear maxi dresses in the summer because they are a perfect transition from day to night. Simple sweep your hair into a top know or fancy halo braid, add some bronzer and a clutch for an evening sipping drinks or simply enjoying a dinner al fresco. The key is to find a dress made out of something breathable.

I plan on doing a little travel to see my family over the break and will be sharing some packing tips and tricks. I am one of those people who have every intention of spending a weekend at my own place, but it seems like I get the travel bug and just want to get going. What are some of your Spring Break plans this year? Anything fun?

If not, try planning a one or two day stay-cation. Load up on masks, bubble bath and some delicious light cuisine for a spa-weekend. Or you can get a stack of fashion magazines and bronzing lotion to sit poolside. Whatever you choose - have fun and give yourself a little break...
